Internet Sensation and comedian Toni Nagy and performance artist Seraphina Supernova, are bringing you their show, “Grape Culture,” - a tragic-comedy stripping back the cultural bondage of domination without consent.
“Grape Culture,” which received rave reviews at both the Hollywood and Edinburgh Fringe Festivals, embodies the thrusting energy of comedy while also being penetrated by dance, film, storytelling, clowning, stand up, and skits. Toni and Seraphina will pervert the pretty by unmasking the ugly truth that “grape” culture isn’t a part of our culture, it is our culture.
The show will undress the consciousness of “grape culture” while stripping back the predatory and pervasive programming that is choking us all. “Grape” culture isn’t just about a single violent act in an alleyway, but a psychological imprint that dictates not only how we treat each other, but also the planet. “Grape” culture is embedded in the systems that rule us, and serves as the fabric which weaves exploitative industries together. When we think of “grape” as just a “woman’s problem,” we ignore that “Grape” culture is at the root of systemic oppression, and we need to dig it out collectively so that we can plant new seeds of sovereignty and autonomy.
Toni and Seraphina start the show with a big picture look at how “grape culture” has framed society, and then pulls down the pants of their “grapists” in a micro analysis of how they were individually impacted. The sharing of stories mixed with documentary footage, skits, and comedy offers an unashamed, raw, conversation that invites the audience in. The show isn’t about re-traumatizing or shaming anyone, but rather to ignite a dialogue to better understand ourselves.
With over 100 offerings from rebellious circus, delicious dance, fearless theatre and activist art to workshops, parties, and more Cannonball pushes the boundaries of live performance at four different venues this Fringe. Come as you are and stay past bedtime at cannonballfestival.org.
